OEN’s annual “sponsor thank you” reception took place earlier this week for the more than 100 companies that sponsor OEN every year and help OEN serve the entrepreneurial community with rich educational programming and special events, like our Angel Oregon investment conference.
At this week’s reception, Paresh Patel, CEO of VendScreen and 2012 OEN Tom Holce Entrepreneurship Award Winner, and Matt Hixson, CEO of Tellagence and 2012 OEN Angel Oregon Winner, shared how their involvement in OEN has helped each of them grow from an idea to a full-blown, funded business.
Said OEN Executive Director Linda Weston: “When entrepreneurs realize their dreams, good things happen, and jobs get created. There has been exciting change in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the last several years, with more assistance and more outside investment. But entrepreneurs still need our help, and yours, more than ever, so we are very grateful for your continued support.”
Thank you again to OEN’s incredibly supportive general sponsors for helping us help entrepreneurs!
